I originally went down the Instructor route, and have always admitted that I felt my students did'nt really get value for money until I had maybe 6 or 7 hundred hours teaching.

I don't believe it is the inexperiance of hands on that is the issue, rather the way the lesson is conducted. Lets face it, straight and level is straight and level and that can be tought by anyone who has done the lesson. What does it take to be an ultralight Instructor these days? It use to be 70 odd hours.... Some big and bldy quick ultralights around these days.

My point is I suppose is that while a 300 hour Instructor lacks some big world experience, they are (should be) under direct supervision, may only fly a limited amount of time with a student before thay must fly with a more senior pilot (not a check) and has more experience then a 20 hour student.

If a student is going to argue during his training stage imagine what he is going to be like with a bit of experience whilst undergoing a boeing course.
